Main Ridge Forest Reserve

The reserve, which occupies the island’s hilly spine, supports an extremely diverse ecosystem, and is one of only two places in the world where you can see white-tailed sabrewing in the wild.

Tobago has over 200 species of bird, many of which can be found in this forest reserve, including blue-crowned motmot, collared trogon and blue-backed manakin. You will also see several species of butterfly, spider and land crab while out walking on the trails. The pristine highlands receive most of the island’s rainfall - in fact, the vast majority of the island’s freshwater supply comes from this forest – which makes the protection and future of the reserve even more crucial.
